I Shop On Amazon

The amazon reviews are a joke though 😡

This book I bought had 4.3 (5) stars ...read one chapter and really wondered who r these people who have given 5 stars ...in this book a prison officer meets her dad her partner and her long lost sibling in the same prison she works ...WTF!!!

Yes OK it's fiction but really come on ...the book"s now in the bin with the author who assumed readers are stupid on my 'not to read list'

What books were u disappointed with ...

Well there are more than 1 way the review could have been right:
1. I it is played straight then it simply can be one of those incredible coincidences that can happen in life no matter how absurd they sound and if the writing is good you can take it just as that, a crazy coincidence.
2. Its not played straight but as a metaphor for something and you have to sit through the book to figure it out (maybe the prison is family and you have to work for itand deal with your blood and your partner? Who knows ) .
3. It's oriented to a niche audience and the reviews are from that audience.
